February Temps Back to Normal

Thus far this February the average temperature at Poplar Lake on the Gunflint Trail is 12.2 degrees. This is a bit below the ten year average of 14.6 degrees. After the balmy January weather, February's lower temps are a welcome relief.

The Gunflint's ski trails are holding up well. Currently there is sixteen inches of snow in the woods, and 12-14 of snow bass on the Banadad Ski Trail. The entire Banadad is tracked and ski conditions are excellent.
